At one time, most of New Jersey was farms (that is where the name the “Garden
State” comes from). As late as the 1960's if you lived west of Route 35 in Ocean
Township, your family was involved in farming.
Dave Osborn and his sister Mary are from a Wayside farming family that
goes back generations. Dave may have been an Ocean Township Police officer, but
he still farmed the families land in western Ocean.
Dave and Mary sit down with our Hometown Histories crew to discuss
farming in Ocean Township and the many families who once worked the land to make
a living.
